Chapter 150: Arrival in Nanjing
It's the people of the Renaissance Society, and they actually appeared near the Japanese consulate, intending to assassinate Gu Di Huaxiong!
Geng Chaozhong's brows tightened, he had an intuition that this matter had something to do with him!
The Fuxing Society had just been established for less than half a year, and with such a shortage of manpower, it was impossible to send people to the island city to assassinate Gu Di Huaxiong, who was about to retire.
This is completely unreasonable, unless the Renaissance Society has a reason to retaliate against Gu Di Huaxiong, or Gu Di Huaxiong's existence has seriously endangered the security of the Renaissance Society and the country.
But, is it possible?
Gu Di Huaxiong is about to retire and go into hiding, and according to the general rules of spy work, even if he wants to kill him, he will seek an opportunity to assassinate him when he returns to China and relax his vigilance, rather than risk doing it outside the consulate where the defense is so tightly guarded and so heavily guarded.
Unless, the emotional impulse of the person who does it has suppressed rational thinking.
And this reason can only be himself, and the person who intends to retaliate can only be Qu Leheng!
Geng Chaozhong suddenly realized that he had to go to Nanjing immediately.
He didn't know what kind of move the vengeful Qu Leheng would make next!
The smoke of gunpowder dissipated, the wounded Japanese military police were wailing in pain, the rest of the military police were holding guns, still looking around vigilantly, Geng Chaozhong looked at the Japanese consulate, the lights were still brilliant, it seemed that Gu Di Huaxiong had no intention of stopping the dinner at all.
Geng Chaozhong gritted his teeth and quickly left the scene.
He must meet Qu Leheng face to face and explain the situation!
Before, Qu Leheng sent a telegram of condolences to him, and the message was a poem: Life is a hero, and death is also a ghost.
And he replied: Ten years of sharpening a sword, the frost blade has never been tried.
I thought that the meaning was already very clear, ten years of sharpening the sword, and the frost blade was not tried, isn't it just a subtle expression of the meaning that he is not dead? Qu Leheng should be understandable!
Geng Chaozhong was very helpless, not knowing if his poems were too subtle, or if Qu Leheng had not received the telegram at all.
However, it is impossible for him to tell Qu Leheng that he is not dead, there are many people who handle the telegram of the Fuxing Society, and if he does this, he will have to risk information leakage, and he does not want to let too many people know about his resurrection, including Qiu Kaiji.
Therefore, in order to put an end to this possibility, Geng Chaozhong's original plan was to go to Nanjing to find Qu Leheng to explain the situation in person. Originally, he had already bought a ticket to Nanjing next month, but now it seems that he can't delay it any longer!
The next day, Geng Chaozhong quickly stepped on the train to Nanjing.
After a day and night, at eight o'clock in the morning of the second day, the train finally arrived in Nanjing. Geng Chaozhong looked at the bustling scene of people outside the car window, and couldn't help but sigh.
Jiangnan is a beautiful place, the capital of the emperors of the six dynasties!
When the Central Plains was occupied by foreign races and the Han nation was about to suffer a catastrophe, the Han people would choose Nanjing to recuperate and recuperate, determined to go on the Northern Expedition and restore China. The Second Northern Expedition of the Ming Dynasty and the Republic of China was successful; The Eastern Jin Dynasty, Xiao Liang, and Liu Song failed in the Northern Expedition. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom had Nanjing as its capital, and it also took the expulsion of foreign rule as one of the bases and legitimacy of mobilization.
Since the end of the Central Plains War, the Nanjing government has finally achieved the title of the only legitimate government in China, and Nanjing, the ancient city, has begun to shine again.
Geng Chaozhong walked out of the platform, called a rickshaw, and quickly went to the place agreed between himself and Qu Leheng, Ruixiangling Antique Shop.
Before officially joining the Fuxing Society, Qu Leheng was disciplined, and in addition to telegraph contact, he did not tell Geng Chaozhong the address and telephone number of the Fuxing Society, but only left a contact point for himself, the Ruixiangling Antique Shop near the Confucius Temple in Nanjing.
Dressed in a Chinese gown, a top hat, a pair of sunglasses, and carrying a yellow Fabro leather suitcase, Geng Chaozhong walked into this quaint shop.
The owner of the shop, a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a robe and combing his back hair, saw Geng Chaozhong come in, without any expression on his face, and sat there calmly, allowing Geng Chaozhong to walk around and observe objects.
Geng Chaozhong walked to a large carved green gold vase and looked at it for a long time.
"If the guest catches his eye, he can inquire about the price, and if he is destined to do so, the price can also be negotiated."
The shopkeeper spoke.
Like antiques, calligraphy and painting, mahogany furniture, etc., I don't know if I met a buyer in the Year of the Monkey - those who do this line are not called "selling", but "getting married".
Geng Chaozhong turned his head, looked at the shopkeeper and said with a smile: "If I really have a relationship with this vase, why do I need to discuss?" Shop, please quote the actual price, I can add one and a half more. ”
"Oh?" The shopkeeper's eyes lit up and he stood up, "The guest is really refreshing, but adding one and a half looks stingy, why don't you add another half and make up a whole number?" ”
"Talking about righteousness in his life, the two surnames are kings. Emperor Qianlong hated his ministers and thieves the most, and it was inappropriate, inappropriate! Geng Chaozhong said with a smile.
"Inside, please." The shopkeeper looked solemn and pushed open the door of the inner hall.
Geng Chaozhong walked in, there was a table of eight immortals in the inner hall, hanging a few pictures of Zhang Xu's wild grass, and a few copies of the Bada Shanren, and there was a pot of tea on the table, the shopkeeper went out and closed the door, and then sat opposite Geng Chaozhong, and asked, "Guest, please sign up." ”
"Fang Tu." Geng Chaozhong replied.
The shopkeeper picked up the phone next to him and began to dial the number, after a while, the phone was connected, the shopkeeper reported the name of Fang Tu, and a surprised shout came from the phone, and the shopkeeper couldn't help but glance at Geng Chaozhong and put down the phone:
"Mr. Fang, the boss will be here soon."
Geng Chaozhong nodded, no longer spoke, less than twenty minutes, there was a knock outside the door of the store, the shopkeeper walked quickly to the door, as soon as he opened the door, a person pushed him away, and rushed into the inner hall.
Qu Leheng!
He opened his eyes wide and looked up and down at the guest in front of him who was wearing sunglasses and combing his back.
Geng Chaozhong stood up, took off his sunglasses, and revealed his face.
Qu Leheng opened his mouth wide, rushed to Geng Chaozhong's face with an arrow step, grabbed Geng Chaozhong's shoulder, and said loudly: "Brother Geng, it's really you!" ”
"That's right, it's me." Geng Chaozhong also grabbed Qu Leheng's shoulder, "Brother Qu, I didn't die, for special reasons, I had to fake my death and take refuge." Unexpectedly, I felt so guilty that I was really guilty of the brothers of the Fuxing Society! ”
"You know ....." Qu Leheng's eyes also revealed a little gloom.
Two days ago, news came from Qingdao that the two brothers in charge of the assassination mission had been martyred.
"I was there. The younger brother was ashamed, he originally planned to come to Nanjing next week, but he didn't expect this kind of thing to happen. Geng Chaozhong's face showed shame.
"Cowards are afraid of death and must die, heroes always get benevolence, Brother Geng, you don't have to feel guilty, since you have gone to this line, everyone has already been psychologically prepared!"
Qu Leheng waved his hand, looked out the window, and said:
"This is not the place to talk, you can go to the Huanhua Restaurant with me now, and I will explain this matter to Brother Qiu!"
